Hey everyone, it’s been a while since we posted a development update so here you go! Today we want to show you one of Rove’s most vicious hostiles—The bandit.
Bandits, like you, want to survive. You’ll run into them when looting monuments, especially higher-tier loot areas. Bandits are armed and dangerous, and usually don’t roam alone. Expect a group of them!
In total, there are 9 unique types of bandits you can run into. Each Bandit has its own individual skillset complete with a fancy custom animation of course. Archer bandits will attack you from range with their compound bows, while Bruiser bandits will charge at you with brute strength and their spiky bats. Be weary, if you get too close to an Archer, they will retreat and pull out their melee weapon. Assassin bandits will engage in close combat with their combat knives.
You might be wondering, where do these Bandits live? Unlike survivors, they do not live in bunkers. With their numbers and strength, they have built an above-ground compound to serve as their home base. They also keep all their valuable loot in this camp. While the loot is very valuable, it is also very hard to steal. There is always numerous bandits on watch and reinforcements are just a battle cry away.
Thanks for reading our development update blog post about Bandits. We hope you are excited to fight over loot with them, and possibly go on a Bandit Camp raid with your squad?
